PICOSECOND LASER

IB Laser has launched picoMax, a diode-pumped mode-locked laser that features <100-ps output up to 100 Hz, <200-ps jitter, 100 µJ in single pulse and >1 mJ of single-pulse train at 1064 nm. The laser features are governed by a microprocessor control unit. Besides touch-screen input, remote access can be achieved via RS-232 and I2C interface standards. With the pulse-picker unit, users can select a single pulse of 100 mJ or up to 15 pulses from the Q-switched pulse train. Various energies and peak powers are available by choosing a different pulse from the train.
